2021 Map of Yuha Basin

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The international border between the United States of America and Mexico anchors the southern edge of this Imperial County landscape. Centered on the depressions of the Yuha Basin, the map details a stark desert environment defined by expansive drainage systems like Yuha Wash. Geologic and topographic landmarks such as Sunrise Butte, the Yuha Buttes, and the fossil-bearing Shell Beds provide points of reference across the Yuha Desert. Human impact is limited to the northern periphery near West Mesa, where Hyde Rd and Mandrapa Rd connect to the local network. The Yuha Cutoff bisects the terrain, illustrating the historical importance of transit corridors through this arid region just north of the border line.
